![I'm Dreaming of a "Rice" Christmas](http://rachaelray.com/cdn/shop/articles/MTI1NjQzMjY5MjQ4OTIwMTk1_cfc50cd8-6eaf-439a-be3f-34b2fd30b1ca.jpg?crop=center&height=330&v=1612080890&width=588)
Ingredients
2 slices bacon
1 carrot, shredded
1 stalk celery, finely chopped
1/4 red bell pepper, chopped
1/2 cup cooked broccoli florets
1/2 cup cooked brown rice
2 teaspoons turmeric
2 tablespoons grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese
Directions
In a medium saucepan, cook the bacon over medium heat until crisp, about 5 minutes; transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of the bacon grease from the skillet. Add the carrot, celery and bell pepper and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the broccoli, brown rice and turmeric and cook until heated through, 3-4 minutes. Let cool. Serve the rice in a dog dish. Crumble the bacon on top and "let it snow" with the Parmigiano Reggiano!
